ActiveRecord Find By Year, Day or Month on a Date field

Question

I have an ActiveRecord model that has a date attribute. Is it possible to utilize that date attribute to find by Year, Day and Month:

Model.find_by_year(201         


        

Answer 1

I usually use:

Model.where('extract(month from birthday_column) = ? and extract(day from birthday_column) = ?', Time.now.month, Time.now.day)
